– What is your number one challenge you face raising your children vegan? Some of the responses included:

When my kid finds out not everyone makes compassionate choices.

School doesn’t provide vegan lunches.

I find it’s challenging when she goes to a friend’s house. We often send her food so she is more comfortable. She is 12 and very strict with her food choices – so getting other parents and her friends to understand and support is helpful.

My baby is 8 months and my husband is not vegan. It’s going to be extremely hard and would love to see if anyone has any advice on how to handle/cope.

Peer pressure/bullying about food choices.

Getting toddler to eat specific foods so I know they are getting enough b12.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/VRGparentsandkids/ is intended to be a group that offers support for families raising children on vegan diets and for vegan kids. We envision it as a place to get advice about a wide-variety of topics: pregnancy, birthday parties, school lunches, Halloween, non-leather apparel, cruelty-free products, summer camps, and more. Please use it as a place to share your wisdom, seek advice, or just find a sympathetic ear. The goal is to offer support.

Consequently, any profane, defamatory, offensive, or violent language will be removed. Feel free to disagree, but do so respectfully. Hateful or discriminatory comments regarding race, ethnicity, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation, or political beliefs will not be tolerated. We expect that posts should relate to vegan diets and lifestyles. The Vegetarian Resource Group reserves the right to monitor all content and ban any user who posts in violation of the above rules, any law or regulation, SPAM, or anything otherwise off topic.

Please share this information with any veggie families that you know! Thanks.
